Due to the inclement weather not allowing fields to dry out in time, the Zone Cross Country Carnival will now be held at the Kempsey Walking Track, Verge/Eden Street, Kempsey (at the netball courts/touch fields). The date is still Wednesday 18th May.

From this Carnival the best 8 runners per age (8/9 years – 12 years) will be selected to participate in the Diocesan Cross Country Carnival at Grafton on 24th May 2022 (back up date 31st May).

Good luck to all our students participating next week!

Athletics Carnival

Our annual whole school Athletics Carnival will take place on Friday 27th May at St Joseph’s Regional College, College Drive, Port Macquarie.

Kinder and Year 1 will run 100m races and enjoy Novelty games during the morning, while Years 2 to 6 will compete in Athletic activities for the day. 

During our weekly Physical Education classes all students have been trialling for Shot Put and Long Jump events. The top six qualifiers in these field events, aged 8 years and up, will compete as finalists on the day of the Athletics Carnival. 

All students in Year 2 to 6 will be competing in 100m and 200m sprints along with novelty games.  100m and 200m sprints will be straight finals with times determining places. 100m sprints are conducted in individual age groups whilst all other events are run as Juniors (8, 9 and 10 years), Seniors (11 years and 12 years).

800m, 1500m and Discus events will be optional and you must nominate your child via the link in the note. The 1500m will be run between 9:00 - 9:30am on the day of the carnival. Any child wishing to compete in this event will need to be dropped to St Joseph’s Regional College by private transport by 8:50am.

Successful competitors from the carnival will be invited to attend the Hastings Zone Carnival to be held at St Joseph’s Regional College on Thursday 28th July (Week 2 Term 3).
